Marcy: “Breanna, what do you want to be when you grow up?”

Breanna: “6, because when I’m 7, I’ll have a loose tooth.”

Ah, yes the true sign of adulthood. The loose tooth. Five minutes later.

Marcy: “Do you want to take a bath tonight or in the morning?”
Breanna: “Tonight, because if not my bed will get all wet.”
Marcy: “How will your bed get all wet if you don’t take a bath?”
Breanna: “Because I’ll get it all dirty and jacked up.”

Now, where she learned the term “jacked up” is a mystery. I haven’t used that term since high school.

OK, so it’s Saturday, I’m a day late. Sue me, what’s that I hear. Are you complaining, No Links for you!! OK, not really…I think it much worse punishment to put these links here, I know you can’t not click them.

Starting off this week with a couple from the “People with way too much time on their hands” category:

The T.W.I.N.K.I.E.S. Project & Bonsai Potato

Next we have one from the “Somebody’s going to hell for putting up this website” category:

WWYS

My soul isn’t worth much, so that’s a good thing, right? Ok, I know some of you like candid camera, so our next entry comes from the “Talk like Michael Jackson” category:

A different kind of Candid Camera

Moving right along, we have one from our cullinary, or as I like to call it “Octupi should not be chefs” category:

Deep Fried, Live! Episode 7: Fleeb Cooks a Cow

If you are like me, a child of the 80’s, then this next entry from the “Where did my day just go” category is sure to keep you busy for awhile:

Play your favorite 1980s arcade games online.

Ok, coming from the “I don’t know what this is, but it looks cool” category, we bring you:

Liquid Man follows your mouse thingy

I know how you all love celebrities, so from the “Hurt or Mame a celebrity” category, we have:

mung

Half the fun of that one is what happens after you kill him. Ok, not a game of the 80’s, but from the “Cool games, sure to make your work pile up” category comes:

Rockface Helicopter Rescue

Finally, with much ado, the link you’ve all been waiting for, the grandaddy of all links, from the “What the hell is he thinking” category:

Scampi

Well, that’s all, hope you had as much fun as I did. OK, I know that noone is as easily amused as I, but hey, at least I had fun. Til next week.

Speaking of selling on eBay… If you’ve been looking for a quilt or unique, one-of-a-kind tote for yourself, or to give as a gift, Marcy has some items, most of which are handmade by her, which she has up for auction at eBay. Check out her items here.

Just when one Court System corrects one of it’s mistakes by reinstating California’s original recall vote date, another Court, for lack of a better expression, really screws the pooch.

Court blocks Do Not Call Registry

And I was so looking forward to eating dinners in peace. Alright, so most of the time I’m in school during dinner time, it’s a figure of speech ok?

I received an email today informing me that it has been one month since Marcy and I quit smoking. One month down, the rest of my life to go. Let’s take a look at the stats shall we:

My Smoke-Free Stats:
Time Smoke-Free: 30 days, 11 hours, 33 minutes and 38 seconds

Cigarettes NOT smoked: 274
Lifetime Saved: 2 days, 2 hours
Money Saved: $46.73

Here’s one for ya. Breanna walks into the room from playing with her brothers and announces to Marcy:

“My brothers are bothering me, so I’m going to sell them on eBay”

Just in case you were wondering, when asked how much she would sell them for, she informed Marcy that she’d sell Michael for $2.50, and Tyler for $50.00.

Who’s loved? That’s right, I am. Upon reading this post, Marcy grabbed two boxes of Cookie Crisp instead of one, and now I’m happy. Cookie Crisp in my belly, what time is it again? Oh yes, time for another linky good time because it’s Friday. It’s also International Talk Like A Pirate Day, but we’re not going there today. Unless you speak gangsta that is, cuz I’ve got a little buried treasure for ya, dar.

Everybody else come with me. Where are we going you ask, well to the land of disco of course, Stealth Disco that is. That’s right, impress your friends and coworkers without them even knowing.

Hey, stop throwin stuff. Alright, alright, you want games…I got games. Plenty of them. Our first game answers the question, how far can cows fly:

The Flying Cow – Flash

And if your still unsure about the flight ability of barnyard animals, why don’t you try some chicken throwing, huh:

POULAGA CHALLENGE

What’s that you say, bossman comin your way, well then hurry up…go here:

The Office Space

Not quite sure what this one’s all about, but it did keep me occupied for quite some time, even though I couldn’t read a thing on the site:

xiiin.com

Here’s a game for you “attention to detail” types. A Find the differences game that’s a little frustrating to say the least…don’t say I didn’t warn ya:

::Differences::

Last but not least, I bring you a game sure to make you relax and, and throw your monitor over your cubicle wall, hitting Stan the copier boy and crushing his scull because it’s just so much fun:

WIREROOT

There, now don’t you feel better…I know I do. Until next time.

Ouch, it hurts to have something this big on my shoulders. I can barely look up anymore.

Since being stationed at Camp Pendleton by the Marines in 1994 and meeting my wife here in 1996, I have been a California Castaway. In the past few years however, it has dawned on both me and my wife that life here in good ole Cali is much too expensive to live. We tried in ‘99 to move back to my home town, Cleveland, OH, but it wasn’t to be.

Presently, an opportunity has presented itself, and we are jumping at it with both feet. The company I work for has a parent company, which happens to be located in Houston. I’ve been there a couple of times, and while the traffic might not be a whole lot better there than it is here, the brief visits I had were enjoyable. Why am I telling you this? Because there’s an opening in the corporate office that I feel I’m perfectly matched for. I have applied for the spot, and with a little bit of luck, I’ll be bringing you this blog from Houston.

Now, Marcy and I have been looking at real estate pricing and such online, from what we have seen, houses in the area are relatively cheap. Here’s my question for anyone who might be from Houston, what might I expect to pay to move my family into a good neighborhood around some nice schools? What should we look out for? Please leave comments for us if you have any suggestions.

The last few weeks, ok so it’s been the last 28 years, but it seems that especially the last few weeks, have shown me that I need more than just my “Out of the mouths of babes” category. Children are not the only ones who say amazing things. They at least have the defense of not knowing any better. I now give you a new category, the Uncommonly Senseless. I will inaugurate my new category with a brief quote from my PLC instructor tonight:

“All the bits on the PLC Trainer are internal…except for the ones that are connected to outside sources”

So, what your saying is that all the bits are internal…except for the ones that are external? I bet his favorite baseball player was Yogi Berra.
